    Why should or would it be grandafthered? He does not live in Washington State. SBR's have not been allowed as far as I know since at least the early 90's. Also, when he files his paperwork with BATFE (movement notification) they will know that Washington State does not allow SBR's.

    His best option is probably to leave it in N.C or store it in Oregon.

    Stickman,

    Can you share some of your info here so that we can educate others who may be in a similar situation? I know I see this topic popping up from time to time.

    I've got a slightly different question. Say you legally own a SBR outside of WA state, and then you move to WA. Can you bring that lower with you as long as the gun isn't assembled as an SBR?

    For example... you take the SBR upper off and build an AR pistol out of it (so it's legal in WA) and then you get a 16" upper for the SBR lower.

    i was going to do this for a training event in WA, but got paranoid and just ended up building a new lower to go with my WA-compliant upper.

    i would love to hear an answer to this, but one will probably not be forthcoming. i'd suggest contacting the WA AG and getting an answer in writing.

    I thought this was discussed elsewhere and it was stated that if the upper isn't mated to the registered lower then it wasn't considered an SBR. Aside from that my next question would be; How is anyone going to find out unless you rat on yourself or get caught selling dope and kiddy porn from your house?

    Quite simply- They won't. You can also send a letter to ATF and request to remove it from the registry, in which case it won't be an SBR any longer.

    Remember one thing- Any stupid shit that goes to the AG and stirs the pot could affect other gun owners for years to come. Something to ponder.

    Don't worry, it was simply something I was curious about.

    in rethinking this, i would imagine it'd make absolutely zero difference to WA law. does the WA statute prohibiting SBRs state anything about registered receivers being prohibited? i'm sure the STATE guideline is any rifle under so many inches- the state would give a shit not whether the receiver of the 16.1" barreled-rifle happened to be registered for short barrels with the federal government. fed and state laws generally dont give a shit about each other, so long as there isn't a conflict.
